Chapter 1307: Restless Crisis
Rhode glided across the sky The shi+ blade rays around him enveloped him in a perfect halo He looked at the battlefield with a stern expression Frankly, he wasn’t surprised that the soldiers of the Country of Light were utterly defeated If they didn’t retreat in this bloodbath, he would be even more astonished Besides, the quality of those soldiers was also questionable That hy, froh expectations of them But now… This defensive line couldn’t be abandoned It was currently just a prelude, and if any layer of defense was lost at that point, it would be a very unsettling factor for their plans
That hy they had to secure this defensive line at all costs
Rhode collected his thoughts, looked up, and took his eyes off the body of the fallen skeletal dragon to the obstacle in front of hions that attacked this defensive line Their loo wrapped around their bodies Although there was no telling what Chaos had done to these skeletal dragons, judging from their wild, scarlet eyes, it was apparent that they had completely lost theirRhode kill one of theons turned around and pounced on him with their razor-sharp teeth and claws
“Inhale…”
Looking at the skeletal dragon closest to hiht hand around Soon after, a stack of cards appeared between his fingers He narrowed his eyes, aiht arht escaped his hand It was a sharp blade coalesced froht blade whistled ahead
“———!”
In the face of this attack, the skeletal dragon let out a furious roar, raised its head, and snapped its jaws open At the next antic ———!</eht blade, the light blade dispersed all of a sudden It seeon breath However, that wasn’t the case The instant the light blade clashed with the dragon breath, the light blade split into five, spread out in all directions, and for at this scene, Rhode’s expression reht hand forward in an e motion
Swish!+</eht blade behind the skeletal dragon jumped up and expanded in size In the blink of an eye, the holy sword glowing in a divine brilliance heavily slashed the skeletal dragon’s body With a loud on’s body tilted and an endless source of holy power bo that had enveloped its body co holy power, the skeletal dragon howled in wrath and agony, instinctively extending its claws and swinging backward to strike the sword away But at the sasword flew out and whirled fro claws In the sound of a , enorile pieces of glass Not only that, but half of its right ar the intense pain, the skeletal dragon shuddered, swinging its head and atteet away from the holy swords However, its resistance was futile The moment it turned around, its head shook abruptly At the next moment, its neck was cut by a criss-cross stroke and almost imperceptible blade rays, to which a stark wound appeared Shortly after, along with a dazzling thunder, a huge, serrated, chainsaw-like blade also stabbed the wound
Roaring thunder, exploding fla air current proliferated within the skeletal dragon’s body in an instant The croitnessed its huge body expanding like a balloon, before blowing up into pieces, while thewinds Soon after, the skeletal dragon that was co its lifeless coht</e before his eyes, Rhode stretched his wrist His attack this ti the enemy anyether ether to pose the strongest threat But noith two attacks in a row, he didn’t feel satisfied yet This time, he used five holy swords in this attack First, Celia’s holy power overwhelon Then, shi+ra coordinated with Gracier and Madaras in attacking the skeletal dragon In the end, it was up to Dona to finish things off with a fatal blow
However, this combination didn’t see because Rhode hasn’t even figured out the attributes, attacks, and effects of these cards so far And the ones he was most familiar ere Celia, Celestina, Gracier, and Madaras He didn’t use the other holy sword cards asin sword form and physical form Rhode could ith them while they were in physical form to conduct battles But after they returned back into their sword form, they needed to rely more upon his control of the battle to be able to use their powers again This was also so new to him as he had no prior experience in this field as a Spirit Swordsman Spirit Swordsman was a class that summoned spirits and displayed swordsmanshi+ps to perform powerful combinations and attacks And now, it was rare for him to be in a situation that required him to fully control the battle as the lone swordsman
ht, Rhode turned over and projected his gaze at the other skeletal dragons that rushed toward hi their bellows, the corners of his lips perked up into a smile
All I have is time for now
The outcome of the battle had been determined upon Rhode’s arrival on the battlefield
Although the fleeing soldiers of the Country of Light had put the defensive line into perilous danger, after Rhode devastated the skeletal dragons crisply, Lydia didn’t el ar the strong resistance, the Chaos creatures stopped persisting, but turned back and left the battlefield quickly instead In the end, the safety of this defensive line was guaranteed
However, although they were victorious, not a single person showed a relaxed expression; instead, everyone, including Rhode and Lydia, looked grave
“Thanks to you, Your Majesty Rhode If it weren’t for your help, this first line of defense would haveat Rhode in front of her, Lydia revealed an expression of helplessness and relief In fact, she also knew that if he didn’t show up, she would be the only one fighting it out But this wasn’t a really good idea to her, and more importantly… As a reat
Rhode didn’t know that while Lydia gained rule of the Country of Light under Lillian’s appointement of its people Aside fro the reputation of the Munn Kingdo been deeply rooted in their hearts Moreover, after the continuous battles between the Country of Light and Munn Kingdoht and the Void Territory, the people of the Country of Light had deep and unfavorable impressions of Rhode and Lydia That hy most of them were still more or less resistant to the to accept Lillian’s rule because Lillian was born and raised in the Country of Light and considered one of their own The people believed that she would ht decision for theel of the Munn Kingdoht was in her hands, would she be able and willing to give theood lives ahead?
It seeht knew that they had bullied Lydia back then… And now, they were feeling nervous about karma
For that reason, the people of the Country of Light were actually quite wary of Lydia’s rule andher reputation at first But now, she becael was a murderer who didn’t bat an eye whenever she killed souarantee that she wouldn’t settle old scores What if she hit on the idea of sending the people to the front lines as an excuse, but actually meant to send the that? Well… It was hard to say
With these thoughts froher-ups, the soldiers below had even oats, raves
for joy out there in the first place We’re just ordinary soldiers, so why her-ups like you?
In fact, Lydia knew all about this, which explained her aard expression when she saw Rhode But honestly, she couldn’t be blamed for that People were selfish by nature Even nohat if it concerned the existence of the entire world? How could one expect everyone to hold such a high level of consciousness to abandon their past differences and strive for the Dragon Soul Continent? Hahaha, hoas that possible? Not toa panic, Rhode and the rest didn’t tell the truth to the general public After all, there were only two choices: either succeed or die Just think about it Iine if some scientist on Earth suddenlyto have discovered that the sun would soon explode and destroy the whole solar system Humans would either choose to move the Earth out of the solar system or accept their fate and die What would the reactions be?
Perhaps son themselves to fate, but panic and riots were certainly inevitable It was already unavoidable on Earth, which was a planet that was technologically-advanced and had a higher literacy level per capita In that case, how could one expect this continent that was pretty h awareness? Moreover, this wasn’t even a natural disaster, but awith Chaos, Rhode wasn’t willing to waste his energy dealing with riots possibly arising from internal conflicts
That hy the soldiers actually didn’t knohat they were facing, as well as the consequences, which explained why they had no pressure fleeing from the battle
Frankly, even if Lydia were to tell them the truth, they would perhaps even suspect if she had made it up just to send them to their deaths…
The soldiers didn’t trust their coht properly? Wasn’t it ridiculous?
